What is it?
In Jojo's third part (the one of the DC and PS1 fighting game), one of the bad guys is a little boy called Boingo (and Oingo and Boingo is, if I remember well, the name of a group Danny Elfman created when he was young...?). His power is one of the best ever created : he has a manga wich pages are all white, and the pages write themselves slowly, always telling the future in a very, very strange way, but 100% accurate. The "fights" against Boingo are the funniest thing I've ever read, and on the top of that, the graphic style of the Boingo manga is extremely funny when it merges with the normal manga (which is, in the 3rd part, still normal - slim hokuto no ken). If you look well, you will notice Polnareff, Jotaro, Joseph and Iggy (the most beautifull Iggy in the universe).
And that thing is an animation about the first part of the manga (it lacks the gags, that was the "slight" portions of reality Boingo's manga forgets to explain every time) to say that along with the reedition of the 3rd part of Jojo, there is a little pamphlet sold of just Oingo and Boingo's comic (with a postface of Kishibe Rôhan himself!!!!)

I think the name of the group was Oingo Boingo and one of the songs they produce was Weird Science. ...either that or the group was Weird Science and one of the songs was Oingo Boingo but I doubt that. Come to think of it, almost definately the former since the chars are named after musicians/groups, not songs, I think. The art of Boingo's book is supposedly just like the art on the album (or several of the albums, maybe) made by the same group.
Boingo's stand really kicks ass, though, that's for sure (though Oingo on the other hand got a darn lame useless one, I think :P). And he gets teamed up with my favorite character in series 3, Hol Horse, too. Whoa, though, didn't know they got their own mini-comic book made real in real life. That's really something...

Yeah, and both Oingo and Boingo gets their ass icked by Iggy, that's part of why I love them!
And in Stone Ocean, there is a little manga in a magazine like Boingo's Toth.... Maybe he became famous mangaka, since then?

Jesus Christ, I don't think any single thread on any single newsgroup has ever made me feel as old as this one. : )
Oingo Boingo was indeed the band fronted by Danny Elfman for 17 years (from the late 70s to 1995). They did record 'Weird Science' (the theme from the movie of the same), as well as 'Dead Man's Party' (featured in the Rodney Dangerfield movie, 'Back to School') and 'Goodbye, Goodbye' (the ending theme from the movie, 'Fast Times at Ridgemont High').
For those of you with access to WinMX (or other file-sharing programs) who'd like to sample some of the band's other songs, here are my recommendations (the band had 11 albums, all great, but these are my personal fave tunes):
Just Another Day
No One Lives Forever
Fool's Paradise
On the Outside
Only a Lad
Little Girls
Private Life
We Close Our Eyes
